MST3K: The RiffTrax Experiments — Sting of Death
Directed by Kevin Murphy
The storied history of Mystery Science Theater includes many, MANY cheap rubber monster suits... and somehow, some way, Sting of Death may have the worst so far. MSTies might recognize director William Grefé as the director behind the MST3K Season 2 experiment Wild Rebels. You'll be happy to know he made Sting of Death first, so Wild Rebels was a movie he made as an even more experienced filmmaker. As an added… From TMDB

60 of 384 · most liked firstI’m 70 today. Feels like crossing a threshold into official old age. I’m cool with it. I’m publishing a new novel. Wrote a musical Xmas special due out later this year. Trace & I are launching a new movie riffing series. And I’m part of the new MST3K. Making things is my birthday present to myself.

neutral · AI labelView post →This is real and it’s gonna be spectacular. MST3K old-fart reunion in actual movie theaters! Right next to the freakin Minions!!
neutral · AI labelView post →RIP, Roger Corman, a true film great, and absolutely the only one to also have about 20 different executive produced and/or directed films appear on MST3K.

neutral · AI labelView post →I rewatched the Manos episode of MST3K last night and what an all-timer line: “Every frame of this movie looks like someone's last known photograph” Fuck man

neutral · AI labelView post →Oh hell yeah, the MST3K YouTube and Twitch channels now have a permanent livestream of the original run episodes (non-Netflix) and The Film Crew! I know you can watch most eps on demand but this really evokes turning the TV on Sunday morning to catch an ep on Comedy Central or Sci-Fi

neutral · AI labelView post →RIP Robert Redford I honestly tend to think of the MST3K episode Pod People when I hear his name, only because that one girl in the movie says "There's always Robert Redford" when turned down Now she's wrong :(
neutral · AI labelView post →This episode has: 1) an old-fashioned short before the main movie 2) a dumb song I wrote 3) as David Carradine’s nemesis: the “sleeping nose to anus” guy from MST3K Werewolf (Richard Lynch) - younger and less professorial, not as prone to talking about werewolf anus

neutral · AI labelView post →There was an MST3K film that was supposed to be a monster movie but then finally the narrator says something to the effect of, "...but there was no monster." That's what Trump is doing: "...but there was no Epstein Files." It's Deep State a Go-Go.

neutral · AI labelView post →There's a great gag in the classic MST3k episode for OVERDRAWN AT THE MEMORY BANK when the movie references CASABLANCA they go "never remind people of a good movie during your crappy movie" and bad writers unsubtly aping great writers is the same thing
neutral · AI labelView post →Remembered that 2 eps of Doctor Who were recently found, and decided to check in on the state of newly-found lost media so far in 2026. Wins include the final missing ep of the 1st season of MST3K, and a Georges Méliès film, featuring the 1st ever onscreen robot. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-UNw...
neutral · AI labelView post →I know MST3K is the reason I love so many old terrible movies, but the thing is: Life would be pretty empty without terrible ones to go with the awesome ones. Sometimes, I get much more from a terrible film than I would from a good one.
neutral · AI labelView post →This film needs the MST3K treatment more than any other
neutral · AI labelView post →I have a potentially controversial opinion here and that’s that Time Chasers is a good movie and that’s why it’s such a watchable MST3K episode, it’s silly with a budget of 12 dollars but they made a time travel airplane movie that goes into both the future and the past, they really went for it
neutral · AI labelView post →That was the worst fucking movie I’ve ever seen in my life, like MST3K level. It was like if they let a 15 year old boy make a movie after reading Atlas Shrugged.

neutral · AI labelView post →The song from Train Dreams is very beautiful, and also, it sounds like it was written by Nick Cave while he was watching the movie, MST3K style.
neutral · AI labelView post →Every #MST3K forum or online group eventually devolves into a series of "Hey, this actor who was in a Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode was also in another movie!"

Someone's MST3K fanedit is forcing me to have an opinion about whether "Alien From LA" should be open matte

neutral · AI labelView post →Timecop isn't a great movie, in fact, I'm greatly looking forward to watching it get skewered by #MST3K / #Rifftrax. Nevertheless, I have a soft spot for this #film; I just find it entertaining. Which, really, isn't that what we should all want from a movie? #MovieADay #Movies #Cinema
positive · AI labelView post →Apple watches, super secret **black curtains**, this is the dumbest most insecure ""covert op"" ever. We are living through a B movie. Even MST3K couldn't shame us enough.
neutral · AI labelView post →I assume the film being watched at Krennic's Wannsee Conference in Andor comes directly from the Gorman Chamber of Commerce. I love upbeat mid-century industrial propaganda films. It may have been the thing I loved most about MST3K.

neutral · AI labelView post →Couldn't agree more. The reason MST3K works (in small doses) is you're actually watching the film along with them, so it's like riffing with friends and you're experiencing the thing being mocked. General mockery of "bad" art though is just tiresome.

positive · AI labelView post →Finally finished: a new shelving unit filled with all my MST3K discs and sets, plus all the Film Crew and Cinematic Titanic releases, and a smattering of Rifftrax. (Lighting was weird in the room at this time of day, so please forgive the weird color.)

neutral · AI labelView post →I learned something very important from an episode of MST3K. When "The Girl in Lover's Lane" was over, Crow and Tom were irate at the terrible way the film had treated the lead female character. Tom: Joel, Tom and I have been horribly scarred by the way this movie ended.

neutral · AI labelView post →Now watching: MST3K vs. The Day the Earth Froze (with Here Comes the Circus) This is soooooooooooooo needed. It just feels *good* to settle in with classic MST3K at the end of a long-ish day, to be able to laugh with a campy favorite. This is good.
neutral · AI labelView post →One thing that always gets me about MST3K is that there are pretty much only two kinds of movies: either a) a shoddily made film that nonetheless can be enjoyed in some way, or b) a film that is fucking unwatchable without the commentary
neutral · AI labelView post →I've also never seen the non-mst3k cut of the film (MST3k typically bought versions of movies that had already been edited down for time to sell in syndication) which for all I know contains a bunch of more explicit pro-apartheid shit.

neutral · AI labelView post →video I just saw talking about why the 1996 MST3K movie flopped didn't mention 1) the studio put most of its promotional weight behind its BARB WIRE movie, and 2) the movie was barely put into theaters. Closest it ever came to me was a theater in Santa Monica, about 60 miles away.

neutral · AI labelView post →REAL TALK: I miss those commercial bumpers that they used only for Season 11. They added this fun layer of warmth like you were watching an old school TV presentation, while at the same time commenting on the film or providing MST3K lore. "You're watching MST3K, Moon 13, The Moon!" #MST3KTurkeyDay

neutral · AI labelView post →Been a fan for almost 30 years, it remains my all time favorite TV show. It probably informed a good 70% of my sense of humor. I’ve followed the cast’s other stuff (Rifftrax, Cinematic Titanic, etc) and those are good too but something about old school MST3K just hits different.
